Cricket Council has issued notices to some Indian players relating to ambush advertisements. According to a report in a television and media website, the notice relates to alleged advertisements of Samsung Electronics featuring some of the players.

The report quotes ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed as saying that Samsung is deliberately and blatantly flouting the contractual agreements that exist with the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

Samsung India on its part has claimed that the company is honouring the players' wish by withdrawing all advertisements featuring them, the report added.
